More Custom Orders!

Wedding season is certainly here!

Last week I put together an order for a lovely Bride-To-Be that I shipped to Hong Kong!

I made 470 paper flowers in only 3 days!

That was quite intence...With the help of my wonderful husband and despite the power outage due to extreme hot weather...I successfully completed the order!

I proudly took the big box to the Post Office early Thusrday morning!

I made the flowers to complement the fantastic decor the Bride is going to have at her wedding!

I used my Berry, Bubble Gum and Purple colored cardstock.

Here is the picture of the decor:

The flowers:

and the packaging:

I can't wait for the Bride to receive her blooms...I hope to see some pictures of the flowers on all her favor boxes!

How about an Orange, Pink and Yellow wedding?

A super sweet Mother of the Bride will be making Pomanders for the decoration and she order quite a bit of flowers from my shop! I gave myself a good 2 weeks to complete this order!

New Addition to my Wedding Collection and More!

Awwww ...Weddings! Such a beautiful and romantic event! I LOVE weddings!

I decided to add another accessory to my wedding collection:

The Pomander!

And while I was in a super creative mood....I embellished a lampshade with The lady Flora Collection!

This will add a touch of whimsy and elegance to any home decor! From the little princess bedroom to a fabulous workspace! I made one with gold flowers for my bedside table...My lamp is very old...but I thought to refresh it with my blooms! I think the turn-out is PERFECT!

Finally I made bouquets with my flowers!

My husband has been after me for a while now to put my paper flowers on stems so I can make bouquets...Last Thursday I went to Micheals and I bought all that I need to do so! With a couple of tricks from a professional florist...I took the plunge and made a bouquet! And another one and a third! I'm very proud of my first trials! I'm confident with more practice...There will be nothing to stop me!

Summer Breeze....

One of my customer, a wonderful bride-to-be....loved my flowers so much she had refered my shop to one of her friend...This friend...like the country, fresh look like a summer breeze...I started to create a few samples for her and this is one of them!

I used white branches - glued tiny green flowers on them and I made small daisies that I had attached on strings! It's a work in progress...but I like the look so far!
